The lines under the 4 just fill in space where the 0 doesn't need filling in because the shape of the number. It's ok not to like the stripes, the 40 is centered.

That's not true, the far edge of the 4 extends further than the far edge of the zero. The 40 is "centred" along the inside edge of the 4 (not the space between the 4 and 0), so it's not "technically" centre, but it seems like a fine balance.
Centre it directly between the two letters and the 4 sticks out even more. Centre it based on the overall combined width of the 40, and it'll look too far to the right.
I think it looks good. It looks balanced, which is more important than centred.
